a common disease

Dry Eye Syndrome (DES)

If you have burning, itching and/or irritated eyes it may well be symptoms of dry eyes. In some cases, blurred vision, redness or even inflammation in the eye area can be experienced in dry eyes or Dry Eye Syndrome (DES), which about 25% of the adult Danish population suffers from. Dry eyes can paradoxically also be experienced as watering eyes – where the eyes water in cold or windy weather or during physical activity, as the tear fluid produced is of reduced quality, and the body seeks to compensate by increasing the production.

Why do you get dry eyes?

Dry eyes occur when the eye does not get enough moisture. Several factors are important for the condition, including age, environmental conditions such as dry air or wind, use of make-up, prolonged screen use, contact lens use, certain medical conditions such as allergies or hormonal changes, and certain types of medication and treatments (e.g. chemotherapy ).

Dry eyes can cause unpleasant symptoms such as itching, irritation, redness, sensitivity to light, watery eyes and unstable blurred vision. Frequent strong blinking, use of artificial tear drops as well as dietary supplements (omega-3 and vitamin D) and avoiding dehydration can help relieve the symptoms. In case of persistent or serious problems, an ophthalmologist should be consulted.

How is dry eye treated?

Dry eyes symptom can be reduced by using artificial tear drops several times a day and by avoiding environments that can dry out the eyes, such as air conditioning or strong wind. It is also important to take regular breaks from screen work, blink more often and consider using a humidifier.

If the symptoms persist, you should seek advice from the ophthalmologist, who can recommend further treatments and possibly IPL light treatments.

What are the symptoms of dry eye?

The symptoms of dry eyes may include the feeling of sand or grit in the eyes, redness, itching, irritation, pain or a burning sensation. The eyes may also be sensitive to light, and vision may be blurred and unstable.

Some experience excessive tearing as a reaction to the dryness. These symptoms can start mild and worsen over time, and it is important to seek appropriate treatment, especially if they affect daily life.

Can dry eyes cause blurred vision?

Yes, dry eyes can cause unstable and blurred vision. The dryness can make the surface of the eye irregular and uneven, distorting the refraction of light through the cornea of the eye. This can lead to unstable and blurred vision.

Thus, blurred and unstable vision is one of the common symptoms of dry eyes, and an appropriate treatment should be found to restore the moisture balance of the eye.
